What kind of eye mask do you use? I love my eye masks!

I’m not OP but I am in loveeeee with my silk sleep eye mask. I got it off Amazon. Similar to this style. I love that it’s wide all the way around and is adjustable with Velcro and not elastic.

I’m curious to know about the white linen top - was it UPF rated? I’m not a super stickler for sun protection although I’m starting to do better in this area - but you mentioned you are and my understanding is that something like a white cotton t-shirt provides SPF 4 or similar (which is to say, very little protection). Would a regular white linen long sleeve without a specific UPF rating be the same?
Without a UPF rating, it's hard to know.

"Polyester and wool fabrics usually provide sufficient UV protection (UPF 30+), while other fabrics, such as cotton, linen, and viscose, frequently offer poor UV protection. We showed that dark-coloured fabrics frequently have UPF values of 30+. Nevertheless, also white fabrics may provide sufficient UV protection depending on other parameters such as tightness of weave and fibre type. "
In my shallow reading, I’m finding any fabric with a certain density of weave functions like spf.
